The Paladin's faith is said to have the power to lift the burden from their shoulders. When cast, this spell calls upon divine influence to improve the center of focus for spell casting, effectively reducing the potential hindrance any armor might impose. Additionally, the negative effect of spell knowledge on redux is reduced when Faith's Clarity is active (for Paladins only).

Faith's Clarity grants a reduction of 1% to Paladin base spell hindrance for every 5 Paladin spells known, up to a maximum of 10% reduction at 50 Paladin spell ranks. In addition, the spell reduces Minor Spiritual spell hindrance to match the caster's Paladin spell hindrance. As such, a Paladin with 50 ranks of the Paladin spell circle who is fully trained for full plate armor will have 3% spell hindrance when casting Paladin or Minor Spiritual spells.

The benefit from Faith's Clarity is NOT cumulative with the paladin's Armored Fluidity armor specialization.

This spell is selfcast only.

Redux Effect

The redux penalty for training in spells is significantly reduced, such that redux has no penalty up to 1.4x spell ranks and should result in about ~38% damage reduction at maximum physical training, but drops down to ~23% with 2x spell ranks[1]
